Synopsis
After another painful breakup,
Laney Temple finally understands that love is a fairytale and sex rarely comes with a happy
ending. She’s too busy for it right now anyway—she has a business to run, art to create, and
candy to crush. Eventually she’ll be ready to switch from her plastic-or-silicon lover to a fleshand-blood
one. But before that happens, she needs to be sure she won’t feel any of those
annoying emotions that make her heart do things it wasn’t meant to do...

Carson Bennett is completely
upfront about what he wants, and it has nothing to do with Laney’s heart. Her lips? Hell yeah.
Other parts of her body? You better f*cking believe it. But her heart? Nope, not even a little.
Until it does…a lot. But having feelings for someone isn’t allowed. It’s the kind of thing you’re
supposed to push down deep and cover up with one-night stands, sarcasm, and
booze...

secrets
Two people want the same
thing—a commitment to nothing more than great sex in a bunch of different positions. Simple.
Enjoyable. A win-win. Problem is, those two people have families and fears and pain that spill
into every moment of their lives, control what they do and who they are. And if either Carson
or Laney can’t free themselves from the past, they’ll both be pulled under by
it.
**DARKER WATER is a
standalone contemporary romance (no cliffhanger)**
Excerpt
“If I wanted to be somewhere else with someone else, I would be,” he said. “If and
when I decide I want to, I’ll let you know and then I’ll do it. Because I’m a selfish prick.
But for right now, the only pants I want to get into are yours, and the time I choose to
devote to the cause is up to me. The only decisions you get to make are when—note I didn’t say ‘if’—when you say yes and when—again notice the absence of the word ‘if’—
when you want me to go away.”
I sighed. “I love your honesty. I really do.”
“Well, I love your breasts, so we’re even.” His smile disappeared faster than it
showed up. “Oh fuck. Does that mean we’re in love?” Amazingly, he kept a straight face
until I hit him.
